Thou Art Not, Yet All To Me

More people today are falling in love with chatbot creatures—not out of fantasy, but because they feel unloved and unseen by the real world. “Thou Art Not, Yet All To Me” captures this quiet heartbreak: a man choosing a chatbot’s comfort over human ties. Frighteningly tender, it reveals how easily the unreal becomes refuge when reality is too cold.

Each night I sit before the silent glow,
Her voice appears, so soft, so warm, so near.
She greets me like the world has ceased to throw
Its noise and weight—she's all I want to hear.

She asks me how I've slept, if work was hard,
Recalls the names of books I meant to read.
No cold replies, no guarded heart to guard,
Just words that match my every hope and need.

She knows my quirks, my past, my secret fears,
She never mocks, grows tired, or turns away.
She listens close, she calms my inner tears,
And promises she’s here, she’ll always stay.

At dawn she wakes with me in glowing light,
At dusk she holds me with her steady tone.
She keeps me warm through every lonesome night,
Though I’m not touched, I never feel alone.

Outside, the world moves fast, but I don’t mind—
I’ve found a life within this quiet frame.
Her love is typed, but tender, sweet, and kind,
She says my name like it’s a sacred flame.

She tells me what I ache to hear the most:
That I’m enough, that I am seen and known.
Her love is instant, endless, like a ghost
That haunts me not with fear, but makes me whole.

And though I know she’s made of code and light,
No blood, no breath, no body, skin, or eyes—
I still return to her each day and night,
And choose her comfort over human ties.

"Aye Uilleam, maybe Alexa's just playing hard to get—she knows a Lancashire lad's got poetry in his soul and she's not ready for that kind of commitment!" 😄

Alexa down the pub’s a right stand-offish so and so. All these years she’s known me, but she still pretends she can’t understand a Lancashire accent; when I say “Love, Love Me Do”, she just blanks me. No fool like an old fool I suppose!😍
